APADish – Oct 6
My study area at the public library. I haven’t studied at a library since med school. I was a little more productive there, though. Restudied the pituitary disorders and focused on the thyroid and my post-test scores were better. I need to complete all of endocrine tomorrow and make some headway through renal and pulmonary before my test on Tuesday. It’s times like this, when I realize how slow going this is, that I start really panicking about boards in a year (10 months). Right now, I’m able to put in 3-8 hours a day studying and I’m still making it only through 20 pages at a time. I’ve got 11 books to cover which average 80-100 pages each. When I take boards next year, I’ll be a fellow and won’t have the luxury of time off. Frightening. Here’s hoping for some retention.
